Subject: [PATCH 3.16 234/294] ips: remove pointless #warning

3.16.50-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: James Bottomley <JBottomley@...n.com>

commit e03c2da6574223081b786960e39c1e5ecf5d492d upstream.

non-x86 builds want the #warning in the IPS code about compiling on the wrong
architecture removed because it keeps triggering on their platforms build
farms.  Transform from a compile time warning into a runtime one with taint to
preserve the original intent of the authors.
